Alright, so the other day I was browsing around, and I stumbled upon this watch, the OMEGA X-33 Marstimer, the one they’re calling the “Classic Style.” Now, I’m a bit of a watch guy, always looking for something unique, you know? And this one, it caught my eye.
First off, I started digging around for info. I mean, who buys a watch without knowing what they’re getting into, right? So, I hit up the usual spots, forums, watch blogs, you name it. Turns out, this Marstimer is kind of a big deal. It’s like Omega’s way of saying, “Hey, we’re still thinking about space and stuff.” But it’s also got that old-school vibe, which I dig.
Then came the tricky part – actually getting my hands on one. I heard from some folks online that the OB in Costa Mesa had one. But some guys said that it is not a very popular watch. I needed to see it for myself. No luck. But I wasn’t giving up that easily. I kept searching, and finally, I found a guy who was willing to part with his. We met up, I checked it out, made sure it was the real deal, and boom, it was mine.
Let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey figuring this thing out. This Copy OMEGA Speedmaster Skywalker X-33, it’s somethin’ special. It’s like a little piece of the future, right there on your wrist. It’s got that classic style, but with all these modern features. And the Mars time thing? Okay, I’ll admit, it’s a bit of a gimmick, but it’s a cool gimmick. I’ve been showing it off to my friends, and they’re all pretty impressed.
Here’s the thing, though:
- It’s not perfect. Some people will probably say I’ve messed it up by modding it to look more like the classic Speedmaster. But hey, to each their own, right?
- About the photovoltaic layer, as Mars has lower illuminance the watch could be charged with artificial light. I did consider adding a charging port, but decided against it in the end. It felt like it would ruin the aesthetic.
- And yeah, some folks online are saying it’s overpriced. But for me, it’s worth it. It’s a conversation starter, a piece of history and I knew it was rare.
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I’m still discovering new things about it. This Marstimer, it’s more than just a watch. It is a statement. A statement that I’m into cool stuff, into space, and into things that are a little bit different. And honestly, isn’t that what a good watch should be?
So, yeah, that’s my story about the Copy OMEGA X-33 Marstimer “Classic Style.” It’s been a fun ride, and I’m excited to see where this watch takes me next. Maybe one day I’ll even take it to Mars. Who knows?
